What is a Coastal Permit?
The City of Oceanside Local Coastal Program includes the entire geographic area called the “coastal zone”. A Coastal Permit is a discretionary permit required of certain projects within the coastal zone. Under the Local Coastal Program, all projects in the coastal zone are divided into five categories:
- Exempt projects;
- Categorically excluded projects;
- Projects requiring an Administrative Coastal Permit from the City of Oceanside;
- Projects requiring a Regular Coastal permit from the City of Oceanside;
- Projects requiring a coastal permit from the California Coastal Commission.
